Love to have them give CT scans to a random sample

And follow it up in three weeks to see how many stayed asymptomatic. Any given snapshot in time doesn't mean a great deal by itself if you don't know when the infestation got started. We could end up with a mass epidemic of COPD in a few years.

We don’t know how much of the crew of the cruise ship had GGO.
37-48% of GGO disappears in three months. Of course we don’t know about CV patients and much GGO has other long term causes.

Accuse wouldn’t knock out the virus it would (ideally) stimulate the same immune response the virus would stimulate.
A healthy immune system would respond to the presence of the virus even if the person were symptomatic.
